Bug ID: 363413
Summary: although setting "switching control"=Desktop,
remembers layout through different activities
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.4.3
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: wettererschein...@bb-goettingen.de
I want to have two activities A and B. A has with several Desktops / virtual
workspaces (Arbeitsflächen), each one using a certain keyboard layout.
Activity B should only have one workspace/Desktop containing a certain set of
Plasma widgets+Software and should have a certain fixed keyboard layout.
First Problem:
Workspaces and activities seem both to be global: Whenever I change the amount
and settings of Workspaces while in A, after switching to B I will find the
changed number and settings as well. Result is, that I will always keep the
last keyboard layout from the workspace I used last in A.
Second problem:
This is confusing especially as it is possible to make the workspaces in B look
different than those in A (like wallpaper) without changing something in A.
This provokes the assumption, that the activities are autonomous regarding the
workspaces as well. But in truth it seems to be a mixup of
B-workspaces-settings and global/A-workspaces settings. This is not intuitive.
Especially as there are different ways of changing something about the
workspaces which is not selfexplaining.
I don't understand, wether the workspaces in A are the same instances like
those in B or not.
Reproducible: Always
Expected Results:
I would expect the activities to be autonomous regarding workspaces and
keyboard layouts as well (unless I choose the option: global).
Regarding the system settings I would expect the setting to be visually devided
by activity. E.g. in KSystemsettings>Workspaces a switch on top where you can
switch to which activity the settings should apply.
And I would expect to keep the last used keyboard layout inside a specific
workspace in B when I switch from A to B.
Thanks for your great work!
